kittyl Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 mum has taken the 1 day old chicks into the run, they having great fun scratching in the earth & pecking at the weeds, but then she snuggles them down for a kip on the ground, I thought she'd take them back to the box. Is it ok for them to be snuggling into dry earth with her, or should I put some soft straw or something down in the run for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Its fine that they sleep on the earth, the ground is warm at this time of year so bare patches of dirt are like little radiators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
